5497 Croisilles-French Pass Road, Marlborough Sounds, Marlborough, Marlborough

A unique opportunity to purchase that special B & B with income potential, that family get-away or simply your slower pace of life by the sea.

Located near the sparkling waters of Waikawa Bay, French Pass, the drive-to-the-door colonial homestead has direct access to a secluded golden sand beach where boats can be launched in full view of Durville Island. You can experience Marlborough Sounds fishing at it's best. Imagine sitting on the veranda enjoying fillets of fresh blue cod caught just off the beach, while listening to the waves caress the shore.

Sheltered behind a stand of mature trees & bordered by farm land, the grand colonial villa is surrounded by attractive gardens with well-kept lawns on a 1.5 acre title. Native birds sing in the trees & a tranquil stream gurgles down the gully near the boundary.

Much more than a cottage, the beautiful 5 bedroom home is the convergence of historic character & modern day amenities. There's a formal dining room, an elegant living room, a high stud, wide veranda's, a Stanley cooker with central heating, security & fire sprinkler systems & a back-up generator. The exquisite dwelling is complimented by several garages, a 3 bay farm shed, 2 registered moorings & there's enough land to run some animals just for fun. Sold with all furniture & fittings excluding some personal items.

The following unsolicited statement was made by a Nelson valuer. "Your property is likely to be the best colonial homestead in the Sounds & certainly the best I have seen in my 25 years valuing Sounds properties".
